• Identify design-related issues, such as incorrect line breaks, unsuitable or controversial images, and font substitutions.
• Serve as our local expert on current trends and cultural subtleties.
• Revise templates based on feedback,
  • (e.g., updating zodiac signs in Lunar New Year templates, shifting Mother's Day messaging to Parents' Day, adjusting invoice formats to meet country-specific requirements, etc.)
• Occasionally create translations of template content from the ground up.
• Provide feedback on translation quality concerns.
• Collaborate on template localization projects across various workflow formats.

• You have a strong foundation and stylistic approach to design; with a keen understanding of visual, cultural, and popular trends, especially in the Spanish market.
• You are fluent in Spanish and English with an excellent grasp of both languages. Please do not apply if you are not fluent in these two languages. 
• You have an understanding of Spain’s culture, trends, news, controversies, history, education system, conflict, politics, and can stay up-to-date with the local scene to create templates with appropriate and non-discriminatory, non-sensitive content.
• You're able to read and follow strict guidelines, and communicate coherently and properly. 
• You have a passion for design and copy, with great attention to detail.
